The 'School Thik Karo' campaign, launched on 15 August by CJP convenor Abhijeet Dipke in Hingoli, Maharashtra, has prompted students and young participants to document infrastructure gaps in government schools. Videos shared on social media show damaged roofs, crumbling classrooms, poor sanitation and neglected facilities at schools in Madhya Pradesh, Mizoram, Uttarakhand, Bihar, Karnataka and other states. In Dipke's native village Santuk Pimpri, repair work at a zilla parishad-run school began soon after his inspection flagged broken windows and water shortages in toilets. Local sarpanch Vijay Puri said windows are being changed and defunct CCTV cameras replaced, while round-the-clock water supply has been arranged in washrooms. Senior education officials have instructed the school to expedite repairs. The campaign aims to conduct social audits of government schools nationwide and push authorities to address deficiencies. Dipke said the initiative would expand to more schools across the country.
